Summary

Supabase has introduced pg_paper_dump, a groundbreaking service that bridges the digital divide with physical paper, providing a secure, reliable, and timeless solution for data preservation. The service uses Comic Sans to encode data on durable paper, which is then stored in a location of choice or a secure Arctic Vault. Restoration is made simple by decoding the encoded data using Mechanical Turks and inputting it back into the destination database. The service offers security, eco-friendliness, and simplicity of restoration, making it suitable for companies that use fax machines, future SOC 4 compliant companies, and even Vogons.
